- La ciudad sin murallas / by Herrero, Tatiana,author.;
"Esparata, 242 a.C. La sociedad espartana se enfrenta a una de las mayores crisis de su historia: con los dos reyes enemistados y un sistema económico en declive, la guerra es una amenaza cada vez más acuciante. Desde niña, Orianna siempre ha soñado con ser una gran guerrera. El único obstáculo con el que se encuentra es haber nacido mujer, pero, decidida a que nada ni nadie la detenga, luchará por obtener un lugar de honor en el ejército de Esparta. Para ello contará con la ayuda de su amigo Egan, un joven tullido que aspira a ganarse la admiración del pueblo espartano y, secretamente, el amor de Orianna, y con el apoyo de Nella, la esclava con la que ambos han crecido y que oculta sus propias ambiciones. Sin embargo, la sombra implacable del conflicto civil alterará los destinos de los tres de forma irremediable.

- La biblioteca de Córdoba / by Morales, Andrea D.,1995-author.(CARDINAL)887342;
"Año 973 d. C. Hubo un tiempo en que solo los libros podían custodiar la sabiduría y por ello se convirtieron en tesoros. Para protegerlos, nació en Córdoba la mayor biblioteca de la Historia de Occidente. Será allí donde llegue Nasir, un joven médico procedente de Bagdad, con la misión de encontrar un valioso manuscrito. Entonces conocerá a Lubna, una de las esclavas más audaces y cercanas del califa, cuidadora de la sabiduría y los libros. La biblioteca de Córdoba nos traslada a la época de esplendor del califato, donde las mujeres -poetas, matemáticas, conservadoras y catalogadoras- eran las encargadas de salvaguardar el conocimiento. Este relato extraordinario, repleto de intrigas palaciegas, misterios y pasión, marcará para siempre el destino de Nasir y Lubna."--"Year 973 a. C. There was a time when books were the only custodians of wisdom, and thus became treasure. To protect them, the greatest library in Western History was created in Cordoba. It is there that Nasir, a young doctor from Bagdad, arrives on a mission to find a valuable manuscript. He will then meet Lubna, one of the boldest slaves, close to the caliph, keeper of wisdom and books. The Library in Cordoba takes us back to a time of splendor in the Caliphate, when women--poets, mathematicians, curators, and cataloguers--were charged with safekeeping knowledge. This extraordinary tale, full of palace intrigue, mystery, and passion, will mark Nasir and Lubna's fate forevermore"--- Subjects: Spanish language materials.; Materiales en español.; Historical fiction.; Novels.; Libraries; Physicians; Enslaved persons; Caliphs; Bibliotecas; Médicos; Eslavos; Califas; España;
